The Barnes & Noble Review
Stories of twins have their own special charm, and Virginia Henley's Ravished is a sexy, scandal-filled twin story set in regency England. From birth, identical twins Kit and Nick Hatton were known as Harm and Hazard, for bearing them had cost their mother her life. They grew up inseparable...and wild. The elder twin, Kit, was the weaker in both strength and principles, yet it was never doubted that he would inherit their father's title and property. The younger, Nick, devoted himself to his brother, and his own extraordinary talent with horses. In all his life, Nick had coveted nothing that belonged to his twin...except the lovely heiress who was expected to be his brother's bride. Alexandra Sheffield had grown up on the neighboring estate, and the young hellion had tagged along on many of their childhood exploits. As a grown woman, she is positively devastating...and far more interested in seeking her own adventures than in rushing to marry self-indulgent Kit Hatton. What she feels for Kit's twin is another story. The two men might be identical in appearance, but to Alexandra there was no man like Nick. Then the twins' father is killed in a hunting accident, and Nick takes the blame to protect his brother. Cut off without a penny of inheritance, he leaves for war under a shadow of scandal. When he returns home, he finds both his brother and his beloved enmeshed in disaster and danger...and faces temptations beyond his wildest dreams. Sue Stone
